NUMBER2.COM PRIVACY POLICY AND ITS EXCEPTIONS

Except as set forth below, personally identifiable data you enter on Number2.com is not made available or distributed to third parties, except with your express consent or at your express direction.
In particular, Number2.com and Xap will not give, sell or provide access to your personal information to any company, individual or organization for its use in marketing or commercial solicitation or for any other purpose, except with your express consent, at your direction, as is necessary for the operation of this site, or pursuant to one of the exceptions listed below.

EXCEPTIONS TO THE PRIVACY POLICY

There are limited exceptions to the Number2.com privacy policy.
When required by law to comply with any valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, regulation or court order, Xap will supply such information contained in your Number2.com account as Xap reasonably determines, based on the advice of counsel, it is legally required to supply.
In addition, Xap may release specific information relevant to special cases, such as a physical threat to you or others or an attempted breach of security on the Number2.com site.

THE PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Number2.com collects personal identifying information from you including, but not limited to, your name, date of birth, address, e-mail address, telephone number, grade level and the test for which you are preparing.

REASONS WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

Number2.com collects personal information from you primarily for two reasons.
The first reason is to customize your test preparation course.
The second reason is to allow Number2.com to be able to contact you with test preparation content and communications and, when necessary, password information.

When you log on to Number2.com, your browser will automatically transmit to Number2.com's server the IP address of your computer and type of browser you are using.
Although your browser transmits the IP address of your computer, Number2.com does not associate this IP address with any personally identifiable information regarding you.
Number2.com does not collect any personally identifiable information other than what users submit and their browsers transmit.

MINIMUM AGE OF 13 REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH AN ACCOUNT

Number2.com will not collect any information from persons who are not yet 13 years old.
If you are under 13 years of age, you are not authorized to create an account on Number2.com, but you can utilize those portions of Number2.com that do not involve the collection of personal information from users (such as the question of the day and word of the day).

If you are 13 years of age or older, you are encouraged to create an account on Number2.com and to utilize all of Number2's test preparation resources, which will help you prepare for standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, and GRE.

WAYS IN WHICH PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION MAY BE USED

Number2.com will use your personal identifying information to personalize your test prep home page.
Your personal identifying information may also be used for the following purposes:

We may use your identifying information to help diagnose problems with Number2.com's server and to administer the Number2.com website.

Summary data representing a compilation of aggregate data representing Number2.com users may be collected by Xap and provided to various entities including Number2.com's sponsors and commerce partners.
NO PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION IS MADE AVAILABLE AS PART OF THESE SUMMARY REPORTS.
Aggregate data may also be used by academic researchers or by Number2.com itself for research purposes, including research directed towards improving our service or reporting on the effectiveness of our test preparation services.
Some examples of summary data are the number of visitors and visits to the site, the percentage of times a particular question is answered correctly, and the Number2.com functions utilized by students in specified age or grade ranges.

WITH WHOM PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED

If you request a "coach" (a counselor, teacher, parent, etc.) and then enter an email address for the coach, that person can have access to various data pertaining to your performance on the site, including the amount of time you spend on the site, your percentile ranking in various categories, and the number and degree of difficulty of the questions you have answered correctly and incorrectly.

SECURITY MEASURES TO PREVENT MISUSE OF INFORMATION ENTRUSTED TO NUMBER2.COM

Number2.com causes the data you input to be encrypted when in route between your browser and the Number2.com server and when in route between the Number2.com server and some other browser or server.
This practice helps prevent unauthorized third parties from intercepting and gaining access to your private data during transmission over the Internet.
Number2.com uses 56-bit, Secure Socket Layer encryption supported by both Netscape's and Microsoft's browsers.

Data residing on the Number2.com server is password protected, and access is provided only to the account holder who created the password, anyone to whom that account holder entrusted the password, a "coach" authorized by the account holder, and those employees of Xap who require such access to administer and maintain the Number2.com system or to provide requested customer support to users of Number2.com.
Each Xap employee who has access to the data residing on the Number2.com server has agreed in writing to respect the privacy of all such personal data.
